Indie Lens Pop-Up Screening 'Free Chol Soo Lee'

South Carolina ETV (SCETV) invites you to join us for a screening event of "Free Chol Soo Lee" at Greer City Hall on Wednesday, April 19, from 6 - 8 p.m.

The evening's event will consist of an hour-long version of the film, followed by a panel discussion.

Film description: Sentenced to life for a 1973 San Francisco murder, Korean immigrant Chol Soo Lee was set free after a pan-Asian solidarity movement, which included Korean, Japanese, and Chinese Americans, helped to overturn his conviction. After 10 years of fighting for his life inside California state prisons, Lee found himself in a new fight to rise to the expectations of the people who believed in him.
